Damsel



While not at boarding school, Ellen was raised as a normal girl with her famous superhero father Stormcloud and stepmother Regina (whom she had a tumultuous relationship with) until her powers manifested at 16. Taking her codename Damsel as a half-serious play on her father’s superhero vocation, she spent some time working as a solo superhero complete with a secret identity until she left education and then started her career full time. After a chance meeting with Corefire and Blackwolf in a sewer while working to take down a drugs ring, the three saw how well they worked together and formed the Champions shortly after.

Damsel's public Biography for the Champions states that her mother is an alien princess of Titan whose true identity has never been disclosed - the concealed truth of her birth is that Stormcloud saved the planet Titan and a wedding to the princess was his reward. As a wedding present, the King of Titan offered his expertise in advanced gene science to create Damsel, who is mostly a clone of Stormcloud with a gender reversal. Her 'mother' is not even mammalian but more fish-like, since her planet is mostly aquatic; before forming the Champions, Damsel always wanted to join the Super Squadron with her father but they don't accept off-worlders and she failed the blood test screening.

Damsel enjoyed a lot of popularity with the Champions and even married fellow teammate Black Wolf, but their relationship became strained. After the death of Galatea and the initial break-up of the Champions, Damsel announced her divorce from Black Wolf and spent some months off-world in an unsuccessful attempt to find her mother. She returned to Earth and joined the Reformers for a while but since then, she has worked as a crime fighter part-time and spent the rest of her time fund-raising for charities.

When Corefire goes missing, Damsel is one of the founding members and leader of the New Champions.

Superhuman Powers
Flight 

Damsel has the ability of unassisted flight, inherited from Stormcloud's genetics.

Vast Superhuman Strength

Thanks to the genetics inherited from her father Stormcloud, Damsel has vast superhuman strength that is potentially the equal of Corefire's, putting her in the 'city wrecker' category.

Force Field

Damsel has a personal colour-changing force field that surrounds her body, giving her a vast resistance to damage and making her almost untouchable; the field seems to be active by default and it's likely that she has to consciously turn it off to deactivate it.

Microvision 

Damsel is able to focus her vision to see objects on a microscopic scale.

Weapons
Damsel has two katana swords strapped to her back, which she uses to compensate for the lack of weather controlling powers she didn't inherit from her father.
